Should I be a tweeter?

Twitter seems to have become very popular over the past few moths. The growing fad with keeping up with your friends as well as celebrities seems to entice many. I believe it is a good avenue for communicating what is going on in people’s everyday lives. I also believe that twitter is a great tool for journalists. Journalists could now report on top breaking news by posting a brief “tweet” that can lead the reader to a website with the actual article.
Many argue that people shouldn’t tweet about what they are doing in the present moment. For example “taking a nap,” but I don’t necessarily think that this is a bad thing. If I check twitter and notice my friend is taking a nap I won’t bother calling them. It seems to be an indirect medium of communication among colleagues and acquaintances.
